or (3) tailpipes

Can we unpack this? I kinda feel like it might be okay to fuck your car's tailpipe but you're crossing the line when you fuck my car's tailpipe.

The conversation in my head is now a class debate on whether the NHS should bill people who fuck tailpipes for their care...

what are you waiting for?

My three cracked ribs to heal so I can get out on the street, obviously.

Feh, lightweight... don't make me bring the plot to you.

@Auspice said in RL Anger:

Nerds.

You say that as if it is a bad thing...

@silverfox Oh you poor poor thing.

We had two typos in our exam paper this morning. 40 students all pointing that out...

If you are waiting for a nice easy plot to jump into - I am running scenes this weekend for a on-the-street plot that takes nothing to be in, apart from being on the street!

If you are waiting... what are you waiting for?

@Auspice And used ones! I'll be over here... twitching.

Crossing that line is a good way to get me to run away screaming, at least, because an admin who doesn't recognise that boundary probably fails at other boundaries too.

I think it also depends on the type of game, too. What if the PC wants to, say, seduce one of the King's advisors to get information? Should we disallow that because it's an NPC? Would it not depend on the game, and the themes therein?

I think that it's murky, at best, and highly subjective, but I think that the intent here sometimes matters more than any sort of objective measure.

Intent matters but it is very difficult to prove intent after the fact - there are people I know who might tell me their intent is to be nice and supportive but actually...

Definitely depends on the game and the theme.

I guess I left my car unlocked after chores on the weekend. Someone went through my shit.

Argh, I'm sorry, love.

When someone broke into my car, they took the stereo and left my CD that had been in it. Insult to injury...

Said Guild Master deciding we're best friends and by the way, let's go have sex. Definitely, decidedly in PC territory. So far in, there is no return.

... And now I'm going to go wash my eyes in bleach because really, Lord Downey is 55 years old and keeps two very large dogs in his bedroom and I took this example to somewhere my mind is now screaming to get away from.

As the NPC-running staffer for this NPC, I can say definitely NEVER going to play mini-golf with Andrew on this.

For me, it is as @Derp says - Mac the barman, or Igor the barman, are NPCs with their own agenda and issues. But they do exist in that role, with clearly defined roles. Igor might pass on information, or sew a body part back on, or make a cocktail with an interesting name but for me, on an OOC level, I am using him to have a direct impact on the storyline. So Downey sitting down with Andrew had a precise and deliberate impact: to get Andrew to investigate by telling him absolutely not to.

I am in pain, and I have to mark papers.

@L-B-Heuschkel said in Discworld: The MUSH:

@JinShei Still got it. Yesterday, Jin managed to injure 2/3rds of the active players in one hour.

But not terminally...

@Thenomain I found that, on DS, where people went all in it really worked brilliantly. Where people just didn't get it, it just ... felt clunky. I was tempted to make Discworld into a fate game but the lure of the combo Ares package just made it too easy.
